Indiana Beach (IB) Discussion Thread

I am just hoping it stays the same or gets better.

Are they even going to replace the management? It seems a little odd that the founder's grandson would speak so positively about the future if he and the rest of the current management aren't going to be involved in anyway. At least they are stressing that this resort company is family owned. Granted, a lot of the times, that can mean jack, but it could be worse.

I definitely think it's a little unfair to just assume that things are going to crap now, though. I'm just going to keep an "eh, whatever" attitude until changes actually start to happen.

I hope it keeps the charm it has today. Based on Photo TR's here, it seems like a small, but incredibly awesome park! Hopefully someday ill get the chance to visit it. At least the article wasnt a doom and gloom article stating how the park would be flattened for an RV park this summer, or any plans to do so

They should install credit card swipers on every Fascination seat. Mofo's would be bankrupt in like a couple hours.

As dangerous as this sounds....
Royal Caribbean allows children (and adults) to use Seapass to purchase arcade credits. Seapass is then paid for by credit, so in essence you are playing arcade games on credit. No imagine if they implemented that for Slot Machines? O_o

[FLIPDUDEI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

If I'm not mistaken, IB's owners ARE the management. So once yout ake tha tout of the equasion...

[ginzoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^It is possible for the current owners to sell out but still manage the resort. This is what I'm hoping for.

[ScaparriFull Fledged Katonga Enthusiast]

^Exactly.

The same thing happened when my brother's employer was bought out buy a major corporation. Everybody kept their same position. The company still works like it did before, except now the profit goes to somebody else.

Hopefully, for the most part, that is what has happened here with IB.

Huh, that was interesting. Hope it doesn't go the way of Americana/Lesourdsville when the RV copany purchased it.

As Johnnyupsidedown pointed out, the only thing making me leery about this is what happened when the RV company bought out LeSourdsville. We all know how THAT turned out. Hopefully this company will actually know what it's doing with an amusement park. Let the current management stay, as they've been doing a great job.

^True, but LeSourdsville was hanging by a thread as it was. IB is, and has been, a great success.
